At the Inclusive Design & Accessibility meetup, Hidde de Vries (WAI) will talk about the impact of authoring tools (like content management systems, e-learning environments and WYSIWYG editors) on web accessibility.

Abstract

On the modern web, we can design content with the visual interestingness that we’ve always wanted. We can have beautiful pages and lots of variety. But how can we manage our content and maximise accessibility at the same time? In this talk, Hidde will look at how better “authoring tools” can improve accessibility (for content editors and for web users), and share some of the new resources that the W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is working on.
